Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so—Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."
What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, ‘what the hell.’"

Saint John police union rep files complaints over being forcibly removed from council chambers
Bob Davidson of the Saint John Police Association takes aim at mayor, security guard and CAO
A representative of the Saint John Police Association who was forcibly removed from city council chambers last week has filed formal complaints against the mayor, security personnel and the city's chief administrative officer for what he describes as his "sudden attack/assault."
Bob Davidson alleges Mayor Donna Reardon violated "multiple" provisions of the Code of Conduct for Elected Members of the City of Saint John when she instructed a security guard to escort him out of the regularly scheduled meeting Feb. 9.
Davidson attempted to address council that night without being on the agenda. He approached the podium shortly after the meeting started, requesting a "point of order."
He contends he was "attempting to respectfully seek clarification" about why an open letter the association sent to council on Jan. 21 wasn't on the agenda. The letter alleged a "huge waste of tax dollars" by the Saint John Board of Police Commissioners and Chief Robert Bruce on legal fees for "needless arbitration hearings" instead of policing.
According to Davidson, the mayor "overreacted" when she summoned the security guard, whom, he claims, grabbed him by the arm, spun him toward the door, then, with his hands under his armpits, "pushed" him approximately 100 feet out to the foyer.
"The Mayor did not intervene to stop the physical attack/assault on my person by the security guard, saying only 'this is not good,'" Davidson wrote in his complaint to the city clerk.
"Taken together, these actions reflect a failure to uphold the values of honesty, respect, transparency, accountability, leadership in the public interest, and responsible governance."
Police union rep files complaints after being removed from Saint John council meeting
Under the code of conduct, council members must provide leadership and conduct business in an open and transparent manner so stakeholders can view the process and rationale used to reach decisions, according to Davidson.
Council's lack of explanation for excluding the association's letter was "inconsistent with this obligation," he alleged.
'Dignity and respect'
The code also states that council members must treat people with "dignity and respect," Davidson noted.
"The events that unfolded in the chamber, culminating in my sudden attack/assault and physical removal, do not reflect treatment consistent with dignity and respect," he wrote. "These events were set in motion by oral direction of Mayor Reardon."
In addition, council members must not “commit assault of any kind, including making unwanted physical contact,” according to Davidson.
While it was the security guard who physically removed him, it was under the mayor's orders, he wrote.
Wrong complaint form
Davidson asked for the matter to be added to the Feb. 23 council agenda for "discussion and action," but told CBC News the city clerk Jonathan Taylor responded advising him that he hadn't filled out the proper complaint form.
"We're getting some political shuffle about, 'Oh, sorry, I don't think that's on a right form.' So we don't have a lot of hope," Davidson said.
A committee of three councillors handles any complaints against the mayor, he added.
Reardon declined an interview, saying she will let this process take its course.
'Lack of administrative oversight'
Davidson has also filed a separate complaint about the conduct of the security guard and an alleged "lack of administrative oversight" by the chief administrative officer, who is responsible for security services in city facilities, according to Davidson.
In addition to his physical treatment, Davidson contends the guard refused to identify himself or produce his licence, stating he wasn't required to do so, until his supervisor told him he was.
"This interaction demonstrates a concerning lack of knowledge by the guard of his legal obligations under the Private Investigators and Security Services Act, as well as a lack of understanding of the lawful limits surrounding the use of physical force in a civic setting," Davidson wrote.
He requested a review of what training is provided to security guards assigned to council meetings, what policies or procedures govern their conduct and whether those were followed.
He also wants to see corrective measures.
In an emailed response shared with CBC News, the clerk acknowledged receipt of the complaint and advised that the city is in the process of recruiting a new CAO.
"We will bring this matter to the attention of the new CAO, once that person is appointed by Council, for their review," Taylor wrote.
Davidson fired back, calling a deferral unacceptable and "deeply concerning." His complaint should be dealt with immediately by acting the CAO, Kevin Fudge, he said.
"These questions go directly to public safety, legal liability, and public confidence in municipal governance," he wrote, noting the city has launched a two-year pilot, hiring private security guards to patrol the most crime-affected areas, such as the uptown core, Waterloo village and around local shelters.
City spokesperson Lisa Kennedy said only that the city will address the complaints accordingly.

February 10|A representative of the Saint John Police Association was forcibly removed from city council chambers by security Monday night after he attempted to address council without being on the agenda.
Bob Davidson approached the podium shortly after Mayor Donna Reardon called the regularly scheduled, live-streamed public meeting to order. Although the microphone wasn't on, Davidson could be heard requesting a "point of order."
He wanted to know why an open letter the association sent to council on Jan. 21, alleging a "huge waste of tax dollars" — money earmarked for police protection being spent instead on "exorbitant legal fees" — wasn't on the agenda.
Reardon told him, "Sorry … you can't," and wasted no time requesting security. "Can you escort our guest out this evening, please?"
A security guard quickly approached Davidson and instructed him to leave, then placed his hands on Davidson's arm, leading him out to the foyer, as Davidson attempted to shrug him off, saying, "Get your hands off me, buddy."
Growing tension
The brief fracas comes amid growing tension between the union, the Saint John Board of Police Commissioners, Chief Robert Bruce and council.
Earlier this month, the board filed with the Court of King's Bench a request for a judicial review of the new contract awarded to officers by an arbitration board in January. The contract, which is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2024, provides a wage hike of 15.42 per cent over three years, maintaining their position as the highest paid municipal force in New Brunswick.
Nine officers are also seeking a judicial review of the dismissal of their conduct complaints against the chief by the Saint John board and the New Brunswick Police Commission.
Meanwhile, the city has asked an independent, third-party consultant to review the policing governance model after Coun. Gerry Lowe proposed the Saint John board be dissolved and the force become a city department instead.
WATCH | Union rep forcibly removed from city council meeting:Security guard removes union rep from Saint John council — at mayor’s request
Duration 1:35Growing tension between Saint John city council and the union representing Saint John police reached a flashpoint at a recent meeting.Outside the council chambers Monday, Davidson described his forced removal as "unbelievable."
His intention, he told reporters, was to try to get council to explain to the public why the association's letter "pointing out the waste of tax dollars by that silly appeal of the unanimous binding arbitration" on the contract wasn't on the agenda.
"The Saint John Police Association submitted a letter concerning a waste of tax dollars going on at the Saint John Board of Police [Commissioners] and the letter was supposed to be on the agenda and obviously forces within City Hall removed it because there are forces within City Hall and the police commission that are trying to deny council as a body from knowing what's going on," he alleged.
"Police officers of [the] City of Saint John are trying to communicate with the mayor and elected representatives and being denied — and tonight, forcefully denied. It's a spectacle."
City responds
In an emailed statement, Lisa Kennedy, director of external relations for the city, said what occurred at the meeting "was not about silencing anyone or the substance of the issues raised by the Saint John Police Association.
"It was about maintaining order in a public meeting and following the rules that govern how Common Council conducts its business."
Under council’s procedural by-law, the chief administrative officer has the authority to not place correspondence from the public related to labour relations, or matters already referred to staff for a report, on the public agenda, Kennedy said.
Council members have already read the letter from the association and a copy has been provided to the consultant conducting the policing governance review, she said, noting the association is being interviewed as part of that process.
Davidson tried to speak at the council meeting, but the microphone at the podium wasn't turned on. (YouTube)In addition, Davidson addressed council on a matter that was not on the agenda, without being recognized by the chair, contrary to the procedural bylaw, Kennedy said.
"When he was advised he was out of order and asked to step away from the podium, he declined and remained at the podium such that it interfered with Council’s proceeding," she said. "At that point, in accordance with the provisions of the Council Procedural By-Law, the Mayor directed security to enforce council procedure so the meeting could continue.
"Council takes all matters brought to its attention seriously," Kennedy said. "The concerns raised by the Police Association are not being ignored; they are being addressed through an independent, evidence-based review.
"At the same time, public council meetings must follow clear procedural rules to ensure fairness, safety, and orderly proceedings in support of effective municipal governance for the citizens of Saint John."
Union supports dissolving police board
According to Davidson, when council receives correspondence, "they put it on the agenda and they talk about it.
"But for some reason here they don't want to talk about police matters in the city of Saint John," he alleged.
In the letter, the association argues that many matters have been forced to "needless and expensive" arbitration and that there is "no accountability" to taxpayers under the current police board governance.
The board consists of two council representatives, four citizens appointed by council, one appointed by the province, and the chief as an ex-officio member.
"It is the request of the front-line Saint John police officers that Council correct the present 'disjunctive and wasteful' structural situation at your earliest opportunity," the letter signed by association secretary-treasurer Duane Squires said.
"Failure to do so would mean that the present Mayor and majority of Council support the waste of tax dollars that only the next election can correct."

Stephen Brunet elected to 3rd term as Bathurst mayor
Believed to be a record
Stephen Brunet will return to the mayor’s seat for a third time in Bathurst, earning him a spot in the northern city's history books.
He is believed to be the first mayor in Bathurst to serve three terms.
Brunet, who also served 12 years as a city councillor in the 1980s and 1990s, had a comfortable lead over his challenger James Risdon early in the election Monday night.
By the end of the evening, the incumbent had garnered 3,690 votes, compared to Risdon's 848, according to the unofficial polls results.
This is the second time Brunet, a retired educator and former city councillor, has defeated Risdon with similar results.
'The people of Bathurst have given a clear vote of confidence to Mayor Stephen Brunet and his council.' —James Risdon, defeated mayoral candidate
In the 2008 election, Brunet took about 3,943 ballots to Risdon’s 612.
"The people of Bathurst have given a clear vote of confidence to Mayor Stephen Brunet and his council," Risdon said in a statement, congratulating the mayor elect.
"Mayor Brunet ran a clean campaign and stood on his record and the voters have responded overwhelmingly in support of the job he has done for the City of Bathurst," he said.
"Mayor Brunet has earned the loyalty and respect of the residents of Bathurst and tonight they have indicated they much prefer to face any challenges the future might hold with him by their side."
There was a voter turnout of nearly 47 per cent of the 9,984 eligible voters.
Risdon had criticized Brunet during the latest campaign for refusing to participate in a public debate.
Risdon, who works as the northern New Brunswick account manager for Xerox and is owner of ACI Media Group, a newsletter publisher and website company, had called it "a sad day for democracy."
But Brunet said he had never participated in a debate before and wanted to stick to his usual campaign style.
Most councillor incumbents return
Fourteen people were seeking council positions, including seven incumbents.
Bob Anderson (2,561), Hugh Comeau (2,549), Danny Roy (2,496), Anne-Marie Gammon (2,371) and Scott Ferguson (2,353) will return as councillors.
They will be joined by Susie Roy (2,490), Michelle Branch (2,384), and Serge Lagacé (2,238).
Incumbents Graham Wiseman and Hugh Young failed in their bids to return to council, earning 2,066 and 1,959 votes respectively.
The new council will face some challenges this term.
The lead-zinc mine near Bathurst will be shut down next March, mine owner Xstrata Zinc Canada has announced.
The mine employs 842 people, as well as 53 temporary workers, 77 full-time contractors and 33 students.
It is one of the largest employers in the northern part of the province.
